Post-Christmas is the best time to get decorations for next Christmas! Here’s the mark down schedule for Christmas decorations, lights and candy by store for the day after Christmas:

Walmart: 50% off, $1-7 select clothing

Target: 50% off
75% off – three days after
90% off – a week after

Kmart: 50% off

Lowes: 60% off – including select electrical cords!

Home Depot: 50% off

Big Lots: 50% off

Rite Aid: 50% off

Walgreen’s: 50% off candy only – all other merchandise shipped back to their headquarters.

CVS: 50% off – will go down further in 2 days

Now if you are looking for the biggest Christmas markdowns, 75% off or more, you’ll have to wait a few more days. In my experience, the best items go quickly so you may not want to wait too long. Christmas lights always go quickly, as people want matching sets of lights.
